Hanging beds

Unusual furniture attributes can become a real interior decoration and an unusual addition. For example, in the bedroom, placing a hanging bed will help create not only an unusual atmosphere, but also provide the inhabitants of the room with a healthy sound sleep.

Let's take a closer look at the varieties of this bed option, placement features, as well as the pros and cons of this furniture attribute.

Not everyone decides to take such a step in the interior of their bedroom, since for many this bed option seems unreliable and in some cases even risky. But we dare to assure you - with proper placement and the correct mounting method, this product will serve for many years.

A classic concrete slab is quite strong, so metal pins made of high-quality hard metal alloys will be securely fixed in it.

Usually, strong metal hooks are mounted on the ceiling, on which the bed is then hung.

But there are other options:

• Fixing the hanging bed on sturdy wooden beams located in the ceiling area.
• One part of the bed is attached to the wall, and the other is attached to the hanging ropes in the ceiling area. Thus, the bed is still suspended, but securely fixed and will not wobble.
• It is located under the ceiling and is fixed on metal profiles fixed in the ceiling area on metal beams.

The following materials are commonly used for attaching hanging beds:

• Metal cables.
• Strong, thick ropes.
• Strong metal chains with massive links.
• Wooden and metal beams.
• Metal profiles, pins, hooks and anchors.

Like any other attribute of furniture, a hanging bed has a number of advantages and disadvantages. Let's take a closer look at what such a sleeping place is good for and what can cause problems.

Advantages:

• First of all, the original solution of the sleeping place.
• Floor cleaning becomes much easier.
• The space under the bed can also be used quite functionally.
• Slightly rocking the hanging bed can help with some sleep disturbances.
• A wide variety of models and sizes allows you to make a bedroom even from the smallest room.

Disadvantages:

• It is not possible to change the position by moving the bed to a different location as it is securely fixed.
• Some products are subject to excessive swinging, so you have to resort to additional fasteners. In the case when it is necessary to resort to floor mountings, the suspended structure loses any sense.
• When installing a suspended bed, it is not possible to install stretch and false ceilings.
• In addition, if you decide to change the bed to a more traditional one and dismantle the suspended structure, you will also need to eliminate the holes in the ceiling.

• The most traditional model of a hanging bed is a product rectangular, the dimensions of which are selected in accordance with individual preferences. In this case, the bed is attached to the ceiling at the corners, that is, it has four fixing points that prevent the product from swinging excessively.The rectangular model is often attached not only to the ceiling, but it is also fixed in the wall area.

• Hanging bed also happens round shape, but its fastening must be approached with special responsibility, since four fasteners, like in the previous model, will simply not be enough. To prevent the bed from tilting in any direction, it is necessary to fasten the cables or ropes much more often, at an equal distance from each other.
• Looks great hammock bed or a model located directly under the ceiling.

In addition to the shape, size and mounting options, the beds also differ in design characteristic of a particular style.

• For example, for light provence the location of the suspended berth is characteristic of the ceiling beams, painted white. The bed itself should also correspond to this style, which means that floral prints, ruffles and elegant lace are welcome as decor.
• For loft a spacious rectangular bed, fixed on barely noticeable, but nevertheless strong cables, and a hammock model, decorated with pillows and fastening mechanisms in a metal shade, are quite suitable.

• The abundance of wooden elements in the interior is the main characteristic rustic style, so the piece of furniture should also look the same. The most striking representative of the rustic style is the pendant model, mounted on massive wooden beams.
• In the bedroom country style bed is also mounted on the ceiling beams and is made of wood.
• And for minimalism and high-tech style the predominance of monochromatic details and straight lines is characteristic.

To choose a truly high-quality product that harmoniously fits into the interior of the bedroom, you need to adhere to some small tips:

• The bed should be selected according to the age of the person who will sleep on it. A child does not need too much space, he will not feel comfortable, like an adult on a small product.
• It is worth paying attention to models and mounts made from natural materials. Artificial components, no matter how durable they are, in most cases harm human health.
• The furniture attribute should match the interior of the room as much as possible.
• When choosing, you should not save a lot on fasteners and durable parts. In most cases, such savings have a detrimental effect on their quality.

A hanging bed is not a very common furniture attribute, so its placement should be approached with special attention.

For example, due to the design features of the round model, it is not suitable for daily night sleep, but it is quite suitable for outdoor recreation. Therefore, it would be most reasonable to place this model in the gazebo of a country house or garden plot.

Since the hanging bed is, to some extent, floating, it should be made the central part of the interior and placed in the middle of the room. This only applies to models with a ceiling mount, as it will not be possible to do this with wall mount elements.

For a small space or a spacious studio apartment, which, in addition to a sleeping place, must be equipped with many other functional elements, a hammock or a narrow model with a wall mount is quite suitable.
